Subscriptions, Channels, MixView, 10 Free DRM and free Games. It was software also.

The stench of preening iBoi's spawning here is overwhelming.]]>Mar 16th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/
After I saw "Zune 3.0" in worst gadgets of the year, I really refused to vote. I thought Engadget was more-or-less clear of iDiots who bash competitor's gadgets without ever trying them.

What type gadget is Zune 3.0? I know Zune 30, Zune 80 and Zune 120. All of them are excellent devices (some can argue about Zune 30, but still).

Zune 3.0 is not a device at all. It's a firmware that brings wireless store browsing and unlimited streaming to the device, keeping 10 songs for free from Zune pass every month, etc. How come it is worst and even "gadget"? I guess jealous iDiots nominated it worst because iPods don't have this capability.

So this voting is a tribute to iFanboys, really. Sad.

People end up voting for the most well-known gadget rather than the best. That's why Apple we will the majority of categories. ]]>Mar 16th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/Mar 16th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/Mar 16th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/Mar 16th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/
This poll is a joke, and absolute injustice for Zune 3.0. I am removing Engadget from my RSS feed now, have your clicks from iDiots.]]>Mar 16th 2009 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/
Since the Storm was in two opposite categories, why isn't the iPhone 3G in the "worst gadget of the year" category?

I went back to the nomination page of the worst gadget, and the most nominated one was the iPhone 3G!! Why isn't it in this list, for gods sake???

What kind of money or drugs is Apple giving you, Engadget?

And if you want to talk sense, how the hick is the Zune 3.0 on the worst gadget list???????

What kind of stupidity is this?]]>Mar 16th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/

Considering Zune 3.0 (the software, right?) is considered for the worst gadget, why not add WMC to the polls? It's heck of a lot better than AppleTV. ]]>Mar 16th 2009 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/
I work at a major electronics store, and I get strange looks if I don't say the iPod is the best thing ever.

They are not the most popular Display, or Notebook, and the Apple TV collects dust. We sell way more slingbox stuff. And seriously... Time Capsule??? WTF

I don't take the voters portion seriously... NOW THE EDITORS SIDE...]]>Mar 18th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/

Personally, I think streaming full albums from the Zune Marketplace over WiFi directly on the device is about the coolest feature an MP3 player could have, and even iPod Touch can't offer it.]]>Mar 16th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/
Of course it wouldn't be an Engadget poll without them taking a dump on Microsoft somehow.]]>Mar 16th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/
If we'll all Apple fanatics, wouldn't the Zune be an epic fail? Zune doesn't work with OS X, does it?

I don't know really anything about the Zune. I only know one person with one and he dislikes it. It gives him a lot of problems. I didn't vote yet.]]>Mar 16th 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/
So, because you can't use the device due to your choice of operating system, the latest firmware for the device is the 'worst gadget of the year'?

My first gen Zune is still going strong with the new firmware, and my 2nd gen is too. The Zune software on my PC is great as well.

Why isn't the latest firmware for the iPhone 3G on that worst list? iTunes on Windows is a bloated piece of shit that I won't let anywhere near any of my computers, so I can't use any Apple device that requires it. I'd like to vote for those as the worst gadgets of the year, please.]]>Mar 16th 2009 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/Mar 16th 2009 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/Mar 16th 2009 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/I genuinely feel that the iPhone 3G trumps any other phones in the same category both from an aesthetics and functionality point of view. The G1 is a fairly close second and I have given weeks, if not months, of thought between the two before siding with Apple.

As for the other devices such as laptops, I could not vote as I really didn't feel the Macbooks or Macbook Pros were grounding breaking. The unibody concept is impressive, however, from a manufacturing point of view.

The iTouch also didn't make my favorite list.]]>Mar 16th 2009 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/a "GOLDEN APPLE AWARDS" !!!]]>Mar 16th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/

"As for the other devices such as laptops, I could not vote as I really didn't feel the Macbooks or Macbook Pros were grounding breaking."

So if Apple is not the best product in that catagory, you don't vote or is it because you do not have knowledge of the other products?
If it is not the latter you r a iFanboy.]]>Mar 16th 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/Mar 16th 2009 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/Mar 16th 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/Mar 16th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/vote-for-the-2008-engadget-awards/
